How Do You Make Custom Drapes & Valances?
Making custom-made drapes and valances can be fun and relatively cheap projects that can provide grace and beauty to a room and block any unnecessary sunlight. The drapes and valances can be made by a seamstress if you prefer, or they can become an enjoyable project for you to make on your own. The custom drapes and valances also make excellent Christmas or birthday gifts for anyone who has a custom window in their house. Measure the width and length of your window. Be sure to jot down the measurements so you don’t forget them. It’s a good idea to write the measurements in pen because you are going to add other measurements to the paper and you’ll want to differentiate the original measurements from the rest. Attach any extra inches for fullness, width and length according to your personal taste. Add two more inches for your seam allowance, as well as another two for the rod packet. Note the new measurements. These markings will become the width and the length of the drapes or valance
